I've been getting the error

pxe-e61
pxe-m0f
no boot disk found. Insert disk and press any key

I've checked the BIOS and seen that the SSD is recognized, as well as making sure that harddrive is the first place for the BIOS to boot from. The USB is also recognized, but I can't seem to get windows installed.

I created the boot stick using terminal on a mac book pro.

Any help is welcome
 
PXE-anything means your computer is trying to connect to an imaging server. Seeing an error message such as your suggests that the BIOS can't detect a Pre Boot Environment on your network, thus, after initializing, it can't find an Operating System image to load. Are you sure that the boot ORDER is correct? Some BIOS have boot order and device priority, meaning although the specified device priority is HDD before USB (or SSD before USB), your boot order could still be [Network Interface Card] (the BIOS will typically display the model name of the device) above HDD or SSD. Also, you want your USB above your SSD.
